What legislation applies to speed trap warning systems in France?As of 5 January 2012, the French highway code prohibits the use and ownership of speed trap warning systems in France. Speed Trap databases, which contain the exact locations of speed traps in France (prior to January 2012) will therefore become illegal. Whereas, Peugeot Alert Zone with dangerous areas covering France is compliant with the French highway code.Back to top

Speed trap information has been installed in my navigation system; how can I make my navigation system comply with the law?You can ensure compliance with the law in two ways:

- By installing the Peugeot Alert Zone – Complete removal, which is available from the peugeot.navigation.com web site. This update will erase the speed trap warnings already existing on your system, as well as other risk area warning.

- By installing Peugeot Alert Zone (14 countries with France) ; this will exchange speedtrap warning with a dangerous area warning in France.Back to top

What are the certificates of compliance that are delivered by Peugeot?Peugeot is not delivering any certificate . The certificate of compliancy is not mandatory by the French law.Back to top

How are the dangerous areas defined?Only the start point of the zone is displayed (technical constrain). Dangerous areas have predefined lengths : 300m in cities, 2km on roads outside cities, 4km on highways. Be carefull as soon as you pass along the POI of dangerous area start (displayed by a panel with a “!” inside a triangle).Back to top

Are all radar cameras included in the danger zones? Yes, automatic radar cameras are installed at locations proposed by the regional police forces in accordance with precise criteria. A radar camera is installed on a priority basis in an area where accidents are mainly caused by excessive speed. They are therefore installed in dangerous areas where road users must exercise greater than normal vigilance.(source : Sécurité Routière/ http://www.securite-routiere.gouv.fr/connaitre-les-regles/questions-frequentes/avertisseurs-de-radars)Back to top

Why do the Wip Com 3D/Connect Com 3D and Wip Nav/Connect Nav systems not warn you of the legal speed limit when entering a Danger Zone?In countries where radar alerts are permitted, the Wip Com 3D/Connect Com 3D and Wip Nav/Connect Nav systems do warn you of the legal speed limit at the exact location of a radar camera. The danger zones may however include several sections where different legal speed limits apply; it is therefore not possible to display a constant legal speed limit that applies for the entire zone. As a result, the Wip Com 3D/Connect Com 3D and Wip Nav/Connect Nav do not display any speed indication in the danger zones.Back to top

Why is the information with the « ! » erased while the driver is inside the dangerous area?The choice that Peugeot has made is to help the driver to get ahead of potential risks and then adapt their driving behaviour. The driver is informed when getting close to a dangerous area. A visual and acoustic pre-alert are generated 600m before the zone, then 350m before. Once the car has entered the dangerous area zone, the information on the screen with “!” disappears. This behaviour, which differs from other systems on the market, requires to be understood and learnt to drive carefully during the whole time within the dangerous area (at minimum 300m in cities).Back to top

How are the dangerous localised points managed?Peugeot and its partners provide you with traffic information with precise information concerning hazards on your road. For more information please check out you owner manual.Back to top
